Murka don't needem none of that Woke Communist Fake News Christianity. Jesus was a ripped alpha male who beat up on weaklings for fun, and told the poors to get a job!

If you need pyrotechnics to sell compassion, maybe the priorities are backwards.

These people are all damned to Hell.

They are creating it on Earth.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

What if they were already sent to help for their sins, and this is it, but they don't realise it?

So make sure when you say you're in it but not of it

You're not helping to make this earth a place sometimes called Hell

Change your words into truths and then change that truth into love

And maybe our children's grandchildren And their great-great grandchildren will tell

It not like this fly over system costs very much. Compared to the huge building and technology they install. I am fully against Church and religion in general, but flying Santa isn't too spectacular. The private jets, buildings the size of Amazon warehouses that actually cost....

If Jesus returned from the dead he would be anti-Christian.

How much further from actual Christian values can modern Christianity get?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 12 hours ago

What in the actual three-ring-fuck is going on in this picture?

I know that church doesn't have to be as solemn as a funeral, but still... unless these production levels are generating millions for charity, I can't imagine how people are just okay with this.

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (19 children)

Is this an actual service or just an event provided by the church? Staging plays is a social task that can be serviced by a church.

Very American and over the top, still.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 14 hours ago

very evangelical, its either this or some kind of wierd play, or concert they are doing.

A google image search could have answered your question of doubt.

The visual is from the annual "Gift of Christmas" production at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Texas. It IS a church production.

Despite being a 40-year tradition at the church, the $1 million Broadway-style production has faced backlash for its extravagance in recent years. In the past, church leaders have justified the performance by explaining the miracle of Jesus’ birth warrants an over-the-top celebration. They told the Dallas Morning News last year, “Jesus deserves our absolute best. … It’s unfortunate that the perennial American tradition of the church Christmas program now draws criticism.”

That's ridiculous, even Jesus thought so.

And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. He said to them, "It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers."

Some things would mix well. I'd go to "church" just to see the mix.

But only by suffering enough will the poor be worthy. Then they’ll magically lift themselves up out of poverty.

So heap suffering on them!

Oh look, I guess they were never worthy…
